The Trial of Nature, perhaps the most important of them all due to the
Seal's weakened state, was held to find Nature's Champion. The Seal has
bestowed motes of its power upon the dutiful mortals who came to its aid
and their task was to find the areas of the land still plagued by the
remains of Nemach's foul presence.

The challenge started slow but quickly Arcanis rose to the forefront and
remained in the lead for a time. Iytha joined him soon after and so did
Xena and Tremula. The two ladies quickly overtook him and struggled
onwards with Marcella joining them shortly. It was Marcella and Tremula
who stayed ahead of the others for a time but many others have picked up
pace in the meantime. Saoirse, Ushaara, and Taevyn joined the
challengers but it was Lorina who went toe to toe with Marcella for a
time and eventually overtook her. None questioned Lorina's leadership
till Ushaara burst forth, vying with Saoirse for victory.

In the end, it was Ushaara who succeeded and was named the Sealbearer
and crowned with the Medallion of Nature. Congratulations to Ushaara
Pavok, the Champion of Nature!
